I'm graduating on June, 25th. There's no gradutation ceremony or anything around here, you just get mailed your stuff eventually as I found out a month or so ago when Matze got his. I'm considering the 25th, the day of my oral exam which marks the end of my undergrad studies. I'm preparing for the oral exam right now. It's mostly about Asian ( Read more... ) -

I'm turning 23 today. So far, I've gotten really great gifts from Matze but we're waiting for my sister to wake up and get here before I get anything from my parents (it's going to be books). My mom took me clothes shopping this week so I'm well-equipped for the summer that'll hopefully arrive sometime soon ( Read more... ) -

My last ever economics grade has just been uploaded. It's finally over and I will never have to take another economics class in my life.
Now if only Mrs. Gruber would send me an email about my BA thesis. It's been 62 days since I handed it in and I'm dyin to know my grade. The thesis and two essays are the only grades I still need before I can take ( Read more... ) -

I'm still reading Game of Thrones. It's been a busy week and I underestimated how long it is. I also read The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom and was pleasantly surprised that it didn't go all religious on me. It was nice, light read and just what I needed after my penultimate economics exam yesterday. I was waiting for the bus and ( Read more... ) -

I've taken another compact language class a few weeks ago and am taking another literature class that spans three or so weekends at the end of June, but aside from two weekly classes, it's ( Read more... ) -
Camp NaNo
I always claim that I've been uninspired over the past year or so but really, it looks like all I have to do is force myself to sit down and write. What comes out is not always good but hey, I've written, so I shouldn't complain. Also, write or die really helps me to not get distracted ( Read more... ) -
what I've been reading
I devoured How Children Learn Language by William O'Grady over the weekend. It's not written for linguists and doesn't use terminology or anything. I think it's mostly for parents wanting to record and understand how their children learn to speak and that makes the book great because it is light and entertaining.
I also finished Ten Little Indians ( Read more... ) -
what I've been reading
I've been thinking about doing this for a while because bookblather always does and it looks cool and I read a lot, so, I thought I might post regularly about what I'm reading so this LJ won't just be about all the paper writing I have to do at university.
Right now, I'm reading Ten Little Indians by Sherman Alexie. It's a short story collection and I have ( Read more... )
